Question Should I Upgrade to Windows 11 with My Current PC Specs?

[xIndividual]

I'm currently running the following PC configuration:

Processor: Intel Core i5 13400 / 1700 Tray [C13400T]

CPU Cooler: ANTEC A400i CPU Cooler [A400I]

Motherboard: Gigabyte B760M DS3H AX DDR4 [GB760MDS3HAXDDR4]

Memory: Corsair DDR 4 16G (8Gx2) 3600 CL18 VENGEANCE LPX Black [CMK16GX4M2D3600C18]

Case: ANTEC CASE NX410 [0-761345-81041-8]

Power Supply: CoolerMaster MWE GOLD 750 - V2 Full Modular [MPE-7501-AFAAG-WO]

Graphics Card: Inno3D GeForce RTX 3060 8GB TWIN X2 [N30602-08D6-11902130]

Storage: Crucial P5 Plus 1TB PCIe Gen4 3D NAND NVMe M.2 [CT1000P5PSSD8]

My current operating system is Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit. I'm wondering if it's recommended for me to upgrade to Windows 11 with this hardware setup. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I would not expect any upgrade problems.

Are there any ongoing problems with Windows 10?

Just for the record how full are the disk drives?

As with any system change be sure to backup all important data beforehand.

Backup to locations away from the host system being upgraded. Verify that the backups are both recoverable and readable.

Download the "Health Check" tool to make sure you are ready. There is an upgrade assistant you can also use that makes the process darn near foolproof easy.

I personally like W11 better than W10 for productivity. There is talk that W11 isn't quite as good at W10 for gaming. IDK if those issues have been resolved. If it is the case, I am not missing the performance.

I haven't experienced any persistent issues with Windows 10, but I've been intrigued by the enticing features Windows 11 offers, particularly PC Manager, which could be a solid alternative to CCleaner.

Regarding my disk drives:

- Local Disk (C) - Windows is on this drive, and I've used 125GB out of 604GB.
- Local Disk (D) - I've used 275GB out of 326GB.

Thank you.

I'll give the "Health Check" tool a try.

Your insights on Windows 11 for productivity are valuable. I'll keep an eye on any gaming performance issues as well.

Thank you.

Its a PC with parts released since Win 11 was released. I would be amazed if it can't run win 11.

You should be fine but running the test always helps. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...heck-app-9c8abd9b-03ba-4e67-81ef-36f37caa7844

yOUR system should have no issues upgrading.

Regarding the drives:

My rule of thumb is to limit drives to 80% or lower capacity.

C: appears to have plenty of available space.

D: (Non OS - correct ?) is at 84%. Not critical but possibly problematic.

However the respective drive capacities of 604 GB and 326 GB capacity are not what I would expect.

Any chance that the drives are partitioned?

Run Disk Manager. Fully expand the Disk Manager window so all can be seen. Take a screenshot and post the screenshot here via imgur (www.imgur.com).

Just to help narrow down or eliminate possibilities....
